Whatcom Wine & Spirits

A good liquor store in a great location!
When I’m in the Abbotsford area for parties and need to pick up beer I always stop at Whatcom Wine & Spirits. It has quite a large selection of beer, wine, and liquor. The prices are pretty good and the usually always have sales through out the year. I also appreciate the selection of Craft Beer in stock.
They have just about every flavour of Stanley Park which is my favourite beer. The store is fairly new. The store has a lot of natural light and is always clean. The employees do a great job to help answer questions if a customer has any and they always have suggestions to help narrow down choices. The store isn’t usually super busy which means you can get in and out pretty quickly especially if you have time deadlines to meet.
I will continue to use Whatcom Wine & Spirits anytime i visit Abbotsford.

I discovered their new location during Christmas time 2011. As always, during the holiday season, I spend a great deal of time browsing through the local liquor stores. Not because I’m an alcoholic, well, not –just– because I’m an alcoholic; many of the gifts I buy and give are alcoholic in nature. The store is large and well laid out, I had no difficulty finding the various sections, and the organization seemed intuitive. The owner was friendly, and talked me through some of the more esoteric liqueurs. The fact that I was unfamiliar with a number of his products surprised and delighted me. I am a fan of new and novel tastes, and it’s not too often that I run into something I haven’t seen before within the confines of the Valley.
The one product that I was looking for that he did not carry was Strega. Hopefully this is remedied sometime soon. I can’t recall if Galliano was on the shelf either. It’s just a personal preference, but I like to see a nice selection of Italian liqueurs when I browse.
The prices were reasonable, essentially on par with the rest of the city. It’s on the east side of Abbotsford, so if you’re at that end of town, or just passing through on the nearby freeway, this should be your go-​to liquor store.
